Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

really hated the era of "hey we cobbled together a news story from grimes' tumblr"

what is with this obsessive gossip shit

it's called jezebel

Really awkward retconning of that river trip as "libertarian," ha

Real Grimes here. I know that sometimes people can date a billionaire. Dating a billionaire in the way I did was not a good thing. As such I thought of a cool way to make amends with anyone who feels offended.
A way to get yourself free crypto. How does it sound?

Thanks,
C. (the first letter of "coin")

What have we come to, in 2018, discussing celebrities’ lives when they’re not even in the same room

... not that a lot of this thread doesn’t dovetail with gross invasive fanboy tendencies ... but I also think there’s an overall interesting point about the rightward turn in the artworld that this doesn’t “prove” or even necessarily typify but at least seems connected to

Insane the amount of Montrealers who suddenly have a story of how they were at a house party and Grimes was just hanging there she was just this girl you know and now she's dating Musk holy shit can you believe it life's crazy etc.

sounds like the conversation you have over and over again after someone from high school dies

Anyway, completely rejoicing in the increasingly-consensus 180 degrees turn on her. People do care about authenticity and politics. Personally, that's a welcome confirmation.

perhaps she's changing authentically into Boss Grimes

Evidence of "people caring about authenticity and politics" is not particularly scarce at this moment, in the online space, IMO

CONGRATS MR AND MRS c!

🎊🎉🎇🎆🌠💫☀️🥦🌶🍅🍑🍆🍌🌽🥗🥅🏑🎹🚙🚄🏦💰💍🙈🇿🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸

my friend said her friend dated grimes in high school and she was a seriously shitty person. this has also been confirmed by a fairly major musician i know locally. i love grimes but yeah...

Well, I'm glad that's settled!

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Grimes pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

such a bummer when your favorite artist lives a life

such a bummer when high schoolers are shitty people

yeah i mean most of my favorite artists engage in anti-union propaganda at some point, just a stage in life you know?

lol dudes, funny pushback here...

i mean it is all heresy to me, i love grimes

every canadian is less than four degrees of separation from every other canadian iirc

lol fair

Ross is actually my cousin and clemenza is my uncle btw

Flopson is my nephew

every canadian is less than four degrees of separation from every other canadian iirc

also, if you've lived in Vancouver for more than a decade and are somehow not acquainted with Nardwuar and Grimes' mother then you should get out more.

Nardwuar was my roommate

That’s actually not true

h8 ppl who call themselves hardcore fans when they've never actually gone down the Mississippi with her in a ramshackle houseboat filled with chickens

I got a hug from Nardwuar (in TO) and I'm sure I heard Grimes stories in college (in Mtl). No chickens, tho

no chickens, no credibility

(I'm slightly jealous that you met Nardwuar, though)

did u go to mcgill or concordia simon?

im a degree or less away from s1ocki owen and robyn but have yet to meet any ilxors canadian or otherwise irl. one time i was listening to ‘roadrunner’ while alphabetizing my college radio stations record collection and robyn walked in and said ‘good song’

Diddley or Richman?

I went to concordia (and spent a few years at their radio stn)

Is she seriously giving bitcoins and eth for free or is that some meta joke I don’t get.

a bunch of twitter accounts with 'elon musk' as the display name were crypto botscammers, i think

2018 comes so close to being cyberpunk, yet so tragically far

It’s cyber-Social Distortion

flopson, I've been at that radio station :)

that is, assuming it was the mcgill one

it was :)

and i was listening to modern lovers

I guested on a friend's show there once. Nice little setup.

haha holy shit motherfucking Damn

I still love grimes but honestly I hate elon musk and the entire genre of person—wannabe tech messiah/tony stark—he represents and this whole ordeal has been very difficult for me
